First, thanks to Chads996 - I bought his Carrera 5-spokes from him, and they came as promised, as described. Thanks Chad! If you're considering buying any of the other stuff he's got for sale, you've got nothing to worry about with him. Now, the poll. The wheels were described as not perfect, but great for track days. Well, that didn't matter, as my plan all along has been to get a set of them, then refinish to my taste. My 996 coupe is seal grey. Originally, I was thinking this (seal gray center with silver painted lip, just like the Boxster anniversary wheel): Then I saw this (seal grey center with polished lip): Then I saw this (black center with polished lip, on a 993): So, what say the forum faithful?
Props for Chads996, with a poll thrown in for good measure.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Gee thanks so much for rubbing it in. Although I was the first to inquire, you apparently? were the first to show him the money.... :-(
I thought the 986550 was CGT silver wheels not seal grey?
Sorry midnight, I just inquired,, and they were available. I know how frustrating it is to look for a set at a decent price....don't be sore! You'll find a set!
Silver, for my vote.
I had a 95 C4. It was a special paint, kind of a slate grey with matching wheel spokes and brushed lip. They were beautiful.
black looks hot!
